Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground paprika (smoked, optional)
- as needed Olive oil spray
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.25 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, ground black pepper, salt, and smoked paprika (if using). Mix well to create a seasoning blend.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Spray the chicken breasts lightly with olive oil spray on all sides. Rub the seasoning blend evenly over each piece of chicken, ensuring a thorough coating.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium chicken broth and non-fat plain Greek yogurt until smooth.
Pour the broth-yogurt mixture into the baking sheet, around (not on top of) the chicken breasts. This will keep the chicken moist as it cooks.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chicken for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender result.
Serve the chicken as is or pair it with a side of steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
